Heat and Cold Therapy for Better Recovery

Heat and cold therapy offer two different approaches to everyday recovery. Learn how temperature can help you care for your body after exercise and throughout the day.

Recovery Has Different States

From post-workout cooldowns to quiet moments at home, temperature therapy can be part of your routine wherever the day takes you.

Heat and Cold Therapy Benefits

Heat and cold work in different ways. Cooling can help manage temporary pain and swelling, while warmth helps ease muscle stiffness and tension.

COLD THERAPY

Cooling for Soreness & Swelling

Cold therapy may help reduce temporary pain and swelling after minor injuries. It can also provide short-term relief from muscle soreness after activity.

HEAT THERAPY

Warmth for Tight Muscles

Heat therapy can help relax tight muscles, ease stiffness, and make gentle movement more comfortable. It's a simple option when your body feels tense.

BALANCE

Different Temperatures, Different Needs

Heat and cold aren't interchangeable. The better choice depends on what you're experiencing—muscle stiffness, temporary soreness, or swelling.

Heat vs Cold Therapy: When to Use Each

Timing matters. Learn when to use heat or cold, what to consider after exercise or minor injuries, and how to use temperature therapy safely.

When to Use Cold Therapy
Consider cold therapy soon after a minor injury, especially if swelling develops. For post-workout soreness, use cooling based on your symptoms rather than as an automatic step after every session.

When to Use Heat Therapy
Consider gentle heat before stretching or light activity, or during rest when muscles feel stiff. Avoid applying heat to a newly injured area with swelling.
